Anybody?


Well, here are some ugly numbers

Miss State is 125th out of 130 college football teams in penalties per game with an average of 10 flags/game. We averaged 6.1/game last year for reference. Last night, there were only two teams in the country that amassed more penalty yards. Nice discipline, Joe...

Nick Fitzgerald's 51.3% completion % is good for 13th in the conference, and it is 15 points below the average from the Top 10. But by all means, let's keep slinging it Joe

Kylin Hill, the SEC's 5th leading rusher in total yardage and LEADING rusher in terms of yards/attempt with an 8.5 average, saw 4 carries last night. This during a night in which it raining virtually all night... Apparently, we have a problem with actually using our weapons

Tucker Day's punting average of 38.8 yards/punt is good for 118th in the country. To put this in perspective, the average of the Top 50 punters is 45.3 yards, meaning that we will effectively lose 7 yards throughout on every exchange when playing a team with a half decent punter.

There's a lot of talent on this team, but there are some glaring deficiencies that need to be addressed as well.

The only positive for me was my mute button working properly. I didn't have to listen to the god awful voice of Beth Mowins and I didn't have to listen to Neil Price call us Kentucky all night. Well actually I did listen to Price for a bit until I couldn't take his goofs any longer.

I was in a bar surrounded by UK fans and didn't get into a fight.

That's about the only positive from the evening.

I thought the secondary did well. Also, it was somewhat soothing to know we were blown out by Kentucky. Close losses are always worse. Aside from that, our performance was garbage. Unbridled **** sandwich nearly across the board.

One positive, they will have no pressure on them to win next weekend. Absolutely no one will pick them. So, there's that.

Since we lost to an East team, we still control our own destiny in the SEC West.*
